Volcanoes in La Palma
The Canary Islands have a few different islands that make up an archipelago next to the European coast. Tenerife is the biggest islands in the Canary Isalnds but La Palma is the one that has the volcanoes. This particular island is northwest of Africa in the Atlantic Ocean.
The island of La Palma is around 7 kilometres above the ocean. La Palma has been slowly been building up due to volcanic eruptions. La Palma distinguishes itself by three colors, blue, green and black. The blue is because of the ocean that surrounds La Palma, green because of it´s flora and black because of it´s volcanic rock. This is something that must be taken into consideration because people that live in La Palma take a lot of pride in their colors.
Today the island of La Palma is the one that has the most volcanic activiety and therefore has a lot of tourism. Visiting La Palma´s volcano could be the most interesting and extraordinary thing you might ever get to do in your life. That should be take into consideration.
The San Antonio volcano can be visited by everyone. Your visit might be seeing all the way to the top or it might be limited. It all depends on the weather and the time of year that you visit in. Tourist might want to camp out in the designated areas near the volcano. Remember that volcanoes get active around once every 200 years. The last time the San Antonio volcano was active was 1949. There are still many years to go.
